Popular Top Stream (19): Zhou Qinghao appeared in front of them again, not as a star, but as the president of a large company.
Qiao Qiao’s agent knew that Qiao Qiao could no longer make it in the industry.
After he took over Qiao Qiao, he got to know Gu Juntian.
Gu Juntian was very attentive to Qiao Qiao, introducing many resources to him, and through this, he also got to know quite a few people.
Moreover, in the past two years, as Qiao Qiao had become more and more popular, he had met even more people.
And just now, someone told him that Gu Yinghou had been spreading the word in the circle, saying that in the future, if there was a Qiao Qiao, she didn’t want to meet with it.
Gu Yinghou and Qiao Qiao’s resources didn’t overlap, and even if Gu Yinghou didn’t say this, it would still be difficult to meet Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had never encountered Gu Yinghou before.
So, when Gu Yinghou said this, it wasn’t simply because she didn’t want to see Qiao Qiao; she was expressing her attitude—she didn’t like Qiao Qiao!
She didn’t like Qiao Qiao, and if someone used Qiao Qiao, they might end up on her bad side.
Qiao Qiao’s looks and acting skills were not considered good in the industry, and he had a lot of negative rumors. Originally, no one wanted to work with him, and now Gu Yinghou had made such a statement… Any normal person would choose someone else.
Just as he was thinking this, his agent’s phone rang.
The person who called him told him something else—one of the biggest entertainment companies in the industry had announced that they would not be collaborating with Qiao Qiao.
This entertainment company had no connection with Gu Yinghou, but the Qin family had invested in it, and Qin Yanming was signed under this company.
The agent, knowing Qin Yanming’s identity, hung up the phone and said to Qiao Qiao, “Not only does Gu Yinghou want to blacklist you, but Qin Yanming has also declared that he wants to blacklist you. Sigh, you’re too eager for quick success and have made a terrible move.”
Qiao Qiao looked at the agent: “Gu Juntian was so good to me before, how could he suddenly be so ruthless?”
This was the thing he couldn’t understand the most.
The agent said, “Qiao Qiao, you don’t expect Young Master Gu to unconditionally give in to your demands for a lifetime, do you? Young Master Gu might have been dissatisfied with you for a long time, even if he didn’t show it. Behind the scenes, he has been deducting points from you, and slowly, those points have all been deducted.”
Qiao Qiao didn’t pretend to be pitiful, but the confusion and fragility on his face were visibly apparent.
The agent continued, “When you first looked after the young master, he didn’t plan to do anything to you. Later, when you showed him the dirt on Zhou Qinghao, he got angry and publicly exposed your identity. This time, you directly blackened him, so he was so ruthless.”
At this moment, Qiao Qiao truly regretted it, but it was already too late.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.
During this period, Gu Juntian signed quite a few contracts, his worth skyrocketed, and his assets were no less than Zhou Qinghao’s.
You should know that when Gu Yinghou and Zhang Zong divorced back then, Zhang Zong promised to include a pretty large private island in Gu Juntian’s assets.
At the same time, Zhang Zong and Gu Yinghou hired a legal team to sue Qiao Qiao.
They accused Qiao Qiao of damaging Gu Juntian’s reputation and demanded the return of the property Qiao Qiao took from the Gu family.
It was at this time that Zhou Qinghao’s fans finally calmed down.
After a few days of venting their intense emotions, they felt much better, especially since Zhou Qinghao gradually terminated contracts with many brands and even with his own company.
Zhou Qinghao really planned to retire from the industry!
Those fans who resented Zhou Qinghao felt a sense of loss.
After Zhou Qinghao came out publicly, they were extremely angry, and this anger peaked when Qiao Qiao made the revelation.
But later, Gu Juntian provided evidence proving that Qiao Qiao’s revelation was false.
At that time, they felt empty, and now, they no longer had the energy to be angry.
Not all of Zhou Qinghao’s fans couldn’t accept his relationship with Gu Juntian; in fact, during this period, the number of their CP fans surged, and their interactions on variety shows were almost overwhelmed by CP fans!
A little over a year ago, the two fell for each other at first sight, but due to Zhou Qinghao’s career, they both chose to hold back. However, in the variety show, they finally couldn’t resist…
It was so good to ship them, really so good to ship them!
Oh my goodness, this pair was so sweet!
Even though Qiao Qiao was a bit annoying, after treating Qiao Qiao as their matchmaker, Qiao Qiao became much more acceptable.
The fans were just happily enjoying themselves when they suddenly found out that Zhou Qinghao was going to retire from the entertainment industry, and they panicked.
Young Master Gu didn’t plan to enter the entertainment industry, so if Zhou Qinghao retired, where would they find their source of entertainment?
These fans cried and shouted for Zhou Qinghao not to retire.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qinghao still retired.
“Oh my god, I just got into this!”
“Will I ever see Zhou Qinghao again in this lifetime?”
“I want to see Gu Juntian farming.”
“The variety show has been canceled. Sigh, luckily this variety show was live-streamed, and the original live streams were uploaded online, so we can watch the replays.”
……
Zhou Qinghao’s incident caused quite a stir.
But soon, an even bigger event happened—Chinese New Year.
By the time the New Year was over, new hot topics had already emerged online, and hardly anyone was discussing Zhou Qinghao anymore. Only those fans who still liked Zhou Qinghao or his ship specifically went to that village to see the rapeseed flowers Zhou Qinghao and Gu Juntian had planted.
However, they were just a tiny fraction of the tourists.
Most of the tourists came because the incident involving Zhou Qinghao and Gu Juntian became a big deal, piqued their interest in the variety show they participated in, and then were attracted by the scenery of the small village.
In this world, passersby are the majority.
And the small village wasn’t the only place that was inexplicably noticed by passersby.
When President Zhang stood by his son and strongly supported him, he was once worried that his company’s stock price would drop. As a result, not only did his company’s stock price not drop, but it actually went up a bit.
Probably because Zhou Qinghao’s fans didn’t trade stocks, but they made such a big fuss that even those who did pay attention to the stock market noticed it. They saw the huge assets he gave Gu Juntian and gained confidence in his company.
It was truly an unexpected development.
President Zhang felt complicated and then called his son, asking him to control himself and not get any ideas while dating Zhou Qinghao. Otherwise, Zhou Qinghao might end up divorcing him and returning to the entertainment industry.
Gu Juntian: “……” He could see it, this was President Zhang’s experience.
Although they are divorced, Gu Yinghou had always been President Zhang’s white moonlight, someone he had missed for many years.
However, he wouldn’t make the same mistake President Zhang did!
He had Zhou Qinghao, and that was enough for him. He had no interest in anyone else.
Moreover, even if Zhou Qinghao were to break up with him, he wouldn’t return to the entertainment industry.
After all, he built a company for Zhou Qinghao to manage.
No, it should be said that Zhou Qinghao would never break up with him.
Zhou Qinghao loved him so much!
Zhou Qinghao loved that scumbag of the original owner, and now that it was him, Zhou Qinghao obviously loved him even more.
There he went again, Zhou Qinghao was looking at him.
Zhou Qinghao was indeed looking at Gu Juntian.
At this moment, he was not in a good mood because the life he had been living since retiring from the entertainment industry was not what he had imagined.
He thought that after retiring, he would be able to completely relax, cook meals, tend to flowers every day, and then live a shamelessly sweet life with Gu Juntian.
However, the reality was quite the opposite.
After he retired from the entertainment industry, Gu Juntian handed him a company to manage, and then he had to go to work every day.
This was an industry he had never been involved in before. To manage the company well, he not only had to be focused at work but also had to learn a lot of new knowledge after work.
Day by day, it was no easier than when he was a star.
Of course, that was not the key point. The key point was that he simply didn’t have time to be intimate with Gu Juntian!
After giving Gu Juntian a glare, Zhou Qinghao continued to focus on his work.
What else could he do? Gu Juntian was even busier than he was!
Actually, he was quite interested in his current job.
This company was founded by Gu Juntian, and after working here for a while, he already knew clearly what Gu Juntian was researching.
Right now, the company was still very small, but in the future, its name would definitely resonate around the world.
Being the president of such a company was actually very fulfilling, especially when the company was just starting out. Gu Juntian, under the pretext of making amends, gave him 51% of the company’s shares.
At that time, he didn’t even know what the company was about. He thought that since the registered capital was only a few million, he might as well take the shares.
Until this moment, he had not realized how valuable the things Gu Juntian had given him were.
But he didn’t plan to return them.
He was prepared to manage the company well, sidelining Gu Juntian, and letting Gu Juntian focus on his company’s technology, completely taking control of Gu Juntian.
Just thinking about it made him very excited.
With this in mind, Zhou Qinghao took a cup of water to find Gu Juntian, telling him not to sit for too long and to take a good rest for a while.
Gu Juntian got up to drink water, feeling deeply moved.
Zhou Qinghao was so good to him, not only helping him with the management tasks he disliked but also taking care of his daily life in every possible way.
With Zhou Qinghao around, he could focus on his research.
They chatted for a while, cuddled for a while, then went back to work, continuing to put in the effort.
Watching Gu Juntian get busy with work again, Zhou Qinghao couldn’t help but laugh.
He had previously hired someone to investigate Gu Juntian and knew him very well.
The old Gu Juntian was not like this; compared to before, the current Gu Juntian seemed like a different person.
Perhaps, he really was a different person.
Previously, Zhou Qinghao had always harbored resentment over Gu Juntian’s feelings for Qiao Qiao.
But now, his resentment has disappeared.
After taking a short break, Zhou Qinghao continued to busy himself with work.
Things on the internet always come and go quickly.
The news about Zhou Qinghao coming out and retiring from the entertainment industry initially caused a huge stir, but after a while, people gradually forgot about it.
A very small number of people who still remembered him occasionally went to Qiao Qiao’s live stream to curse at Qiao Qiao and then hope that one day, Zhou Qinghao and Gu Juntian would appear before them again.
Sigh, none of the current stars were as good-looking as Zhou Qinghao.
These people were the ones who had been waiting for Zhou Qinghao.
But when Zhou Qinghao appeared before them again, it wasn’t as a star, but as the president of a large company.
Well… it was a bit surreal.
However, this version of Zhou Qinghao was even more handsome!
